"We are witnessing the postmodern version of the full-scale gangsterization of the world." Cornel West. My hope is that the apologists for Obama will now feel impelled to resist the neofascist in office currently. They will come out of their hidey holes where they have been for the last eight years, speak up, and stand up.

It continues to be important to recognize that the corner of Lasalle and Jackson is where the Chicago Board of Trade, the Federal Reserve Bank, and Bank of America -- co-conspirators in bringing down our economy -- have their headquarters.

These stalwart few hold the corner, keeping sentry for the large rallies that start at Lasalle and Jackson every week.
